Tonight at the Fresno County Fair revelers won’t be lamenting that the fair will soon be gone. Though the fair ends on Oct. 13, 2014, it’s not a concern. What IS rocking the house, however, is the Splatter Paint Party with Paint Cannons, Cryo Jets, Foam Cannons, and the area’s hottest DJ’s playing the top hits.

2014 has brought a lot of unique entertainment to California’s 58 counties and their fairs. The mainstay attractions throughout the decades have continued to champion agriculture and farm life with livestock and baby barnyard animals, rodeos and animal performance shows (pig races, dog tricks and turkey stampedes.) Carnivals, community contests and expos, and the latest food fads entertain, educate and feed the body & mind. This weekend and next the California fair season wraps up with fairs in Fresno, Perris and Ridgecrest closing the season out. It won’t be till 2015 that you’ll see a county fair again. If you didn’t attend this year’s crop of fairs the good news is that the fairs will return starting in February. So long, “fair” well.
